DOOM III Minimum System Requirements

Nacht · Jul 21, 2004, 03:15 PM

the only thing a big monitor is gonna do for you is make your game run worse. why? because your gonna push the res and aa/af because the pixels are so large!

gangsterant16 · Jul 21, 2004, 03:17 PM

what price for the xt and my system is

AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3200+
Giga-byte GA-7N400 Pro2 mobo
Ati Radeon 9800pro o/c at 425/380 (Omega 2.5.58)

Sound Blaster Audigy 2zs
5.1 altec lansing speakers
80gig sata seagate hard drive

You guy's think i can run doom 3 fully cause i can run farcry fully playing perfectly.

goku21 · Jul 21, 2004, 03:54 PM

P4 3.0c (not overclocked)
Corsair XMS TwinX 512 (256x2) PC3200LL
Sapphire 9800 Pro w/ Artic-Cooling VGA Silencer rev. 3
Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer+ 5.1

gangsterant16 · Jul 21, 2004, 06:35 PM

Will i be able to run it good

pr0digal jenius · Jul 21, 2004, 07:27 PM

yea, you should be all set

Warpy · Jul 21, 2004, 10:59 PM

I'm ready to pump up the AA and AF to the max with a crisp 1600x1200 resolution...

Thorn2004 · Jul 22, 2004, 03:02 AM

Ok all of this talk about requirements has me worried, my system isn't old nessesarily, and I do overclock to get the most out of my hardware

What do you guys think, any chance of playing Doom3 in my favourite resolution 1600X1200 with AA and AF off with decent framerates at least? Yeah I know it isn't state of the art either but heck I am on a budget and all of the current games run sweet, including UT2004 which I run in 1600X1200 as well !

My Specs:

Asus P4PE Motherboard, (533mhz FSB@620mhz, RAID, SATA, 4X AGP with o'clocked frequency)
Intel P4 2.53 gighz (O'clocked to 3.0 gighz)
1gig of PC2700 RAM (333mhz running @ 410mhz) -Turbo Mode
HIS Excalibur 9800 XT (@ 400,500)
80 gig ATA 133 7200 RPM Harddisk
Sony 40X,12X,52X, CDR,CDRW CD Rom

Stock cooling including an slot Exhaust fan next to my 9800 XT an an extra case fan in the front.

I am not too worried about AA and AF because I try to run my games in 1600X1200 which looks good anyway, so all I want is to be able to run Doom 3 and HL2 at this resolution smoothly with no loss of FPS !

Sandok · Jul 22, 2004, 05:42 AM

I got a 3ghz PC, 2048 RAM (half was free

love that! ) and a 9800 Pro

... I think I should be able to run Doom and HL2 on max but maybe not a high reso.... Like Far Cry... But damn, I need a new 3D card!!!

Ignition · Jul 22, 2004, 12:14 PM

Yeah, it will work fine on medium-low settings.

gangsterant16 · Jul 22, 2004, 08:38 PM

Na i think it will work Medium high, can u play farcry at a decent rate

peterosesbookie · Jul 22, 2004, 09:04 PM

Will the game be dual-threaded? That would be great then I would upgrade to a AIW 9800 at this point unless a newer AIW comes out in the meantime.

later

warpigs · Jul 22, 2004, 11:32 PM

I hope they will have a demo before the releasing of the game so people can truely see if they need to upgrade any hardware.

gangsterant16 · Jul 22, 2004, 11:34 PM

there won't be a demo 4 sure cause there's only 12 days till the release if people want to see if there machine can run it then wait a month after the release for it.

Whobetta · Jul 23, 2004, 01:07 AM

I read somewhere that the game can be scaled back to like 320X240 is that true?

gangsterant16 · Jul 24, 2004, 10:06 AM

only 9 more freakign days till i have doom in my freaking hands i can't wait!!!!

Dexsal · Jul 24, 2004, 11:47 AM

There's deathmatch and such gamemodes, but no cooperative mode, that's only going to be in the Xbox version. I'm confident a patch or mod will fix that though.

Dexsal · Jul 24, 2004, 12:56 PM

Is there a PC muiliplayer mode?

Zelig · Jul 24, 2004, 01:13 PM

Yes, the PC version supports 4 player multiplayer, just no cooperative mode.

gangsterant16 · Jul 27, 2004, 11:05 AM

i hope doom 3 got great surround sound. that will make the game even better

**Vikingod** · Jul 27, 2004, 11:15 AM

There is definitlly going to be a demo, they already announced it. They said it would be out after the release of the full game.

Yeah, it should be good, even Doom 1/2 are cool with surround sound, though you only get stereo, with no positional audio.

gangsterant16 · Jul 27, 2004, 11:35 AM

im having second thought tho about doom3 also cause its $55 it better be worth the money i will be dissapointed if its not

Me 3, heck there is nothing wrong with the 9800 XT it is still a great card, and look at it this way guys, how much of a increase in FPS are going really going to get by slapping a 6800 or X800 in your computer? Realistically I would be surprised if you get an extra 10 FPS, is it really worth the upgrade or would you be better off waiting untill the next generation PCI-E cards and upgrading your Motherboard/CPU to go with it? I know what I will be doing

Zelig · Jul 27, 2004, 08:03 PM

It's actually quite a lot more than 10fps in a lot of circumstances. And these ARE the next generation cards.

So says me, with my 9800 pro.
